I drove from Mikumi Village (The Swiss-owned Lodge and Camp Site) towards Mbeya. Just before Mbeya (coming from the Dar Es Salaam (east) side) I turned south towards a town called Uyole. The roasd was good with the usual speed humps in town. With a setting sun I drove towards Tukuyu. The sun had set and there was a light rain falling so I checked into a local owned guest lodge called "Gaga California Guest House" the night before. The place was not fantastic but at 11 000 Tsh (about 7US$). It was funny because Ritma had just asked me if I had encountered any rain on my trip. I had been riding up into a mountainous area and it was getting more and more intense in terms of the weather. The place was awesome in terms of view though./ I was riding on some sort of mountain ridge in the Poroto Mountain Range and the views were spectacular. The place is so green and tropical looking.
At Gaga California Lodge I found clean sheets, a mosquito net, and undercover parking for my bike. I didn't eat that night as they didn't serve food. I'm quite a light eater though so no problems there.
